"Home is something I carry with me" screening




Vero Majano and I compiled some audio interviews, images and super 8 footage from her internship program at the Mission Neighborhood Resource Center for this exhibition, curated by Adrienne Skye Roberts, called "Home is something I carry with me". When Adrienne told me she was putting together the exhibition, I thought that it was important to include in the show (especially one with that title) the voices of people who are homeless in the Mission. The piece is a definite work in progress, but we think it can be a sketch of a larger piece to come.

Film screening: Friday, September 4, 9 p.m. @ 348 Shotwell Street, between 17th and 18th Sts.
(Feel free to bring blankets or lawn chairs to the film screening. Popcorn will be provided)

Opening: Friday, September 4, 4-8 p.m. @ 3352 24th Street & 951 Shotwell Street
Open Houses: Saturday, September 5, 12-5 p.m. @ 3352 24th Street & 951 Shotwell Street

Home is something I carry with me is an alternative art exhibition and film screening featuring over 40 Bay Area artists whose work interrogates the concept of home. For one weekend, two homes in San Francisco’s Mission District will transform into exhibition spaces and the backyard of a third home will be used for an outdoor film screening.

Unfortunately, 3352 24th Street and 951 Shotwell Street have large staircases and therefore are not wheelchair accessible. There is a hallway leading to the backyard of 348 Shotwell where the film screening will be held is that can accomodate 29" inches across. No stairs, but a few steps down from the hallway

To avoid overcrowded the houses on Friday, come on by early--we open at 4PM. Or wait until Saturday the 5th, both houses are open from 12-5PM.
